Classification [edit]. Pidgins and creoles are often classified in terms of their superstrate and substrate languages. The superstrate language is the language on which the pidgin or creole is primarily based, and is usually the language of the colonizing people.
Here are some brief descriptions of the Trail as it passes through the fourteen states that are home to portions of it. The mileages are fairly accurate, but don't take them as gospel. Reroutings of the Trail cause the trail mileage to change from year to year. You can keep up with the actual changes by getting a copy of the Data Book, which is issued yearly. Do not count on all information provided by various out-links as it is hard for files to be kept up to date.
The Appalachian Trail travels 72 miles in New Jersey. The AT enters New Jersey from the south along a pedestrian walkway on the I-80 bridge over the Delaware River. From the busy highway and very popular recreational area, the trail ascends from the Delaware Water Gap to the Kittatinny Ridge in Worthington State Forest.
